The value of your presentation rises or falls with your skill at presentation. 2: My embedded headless linux targets live in isolated networks, even relative to other computer or network equipment at the target site. At times, the nearest land is 2 miles straight down (ocean floor). 3: These targets are also without

I would suggest: 1_ Completely ignore the comment about some "linuxefi" command; it does _not_ exist in Syslinux. 2_ Change the /EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg file to: DEFAULT linux PROMPT 0 TIMEOUT 1 SAY Booting System...

...chive (6.03-pre1). Let me emphasize: first test official binaries, not your own build. If the official binaries fail, I would then suggest testing with the binaries from Debian Sid. Only as a last resort, try you own build. Please be aware that there are some building issues ATM. In any case, _avoid_ mixing binaries from different versions / builds (e.g. c32 modules from one version with the installer from another; that's a "no-no"). BTW, I would also suggest searching the official Syslinux wiki. Regards, Ady.

...3U (3xHH) internal enclosure. SATA was explicitly designed for hot-swap with fixed, SCA-like, staggered, fixed-position connectors with _no_ extra interconnect (i.e., like SCA SCSI drives, SATA drives _should_ connect _directly_ to the backplane, and the "can" is just a frame/handle), so _avoid_ doing such with [P]ATA which is only asking for issues. The EN-8721x02 will only set you back $150, so it's well worth it (especially when you're already spending $300 for the Escalade 8506-4LP, it's only 50% more). It's also nice to have an "extra can" for either holdin...

...gt;# sincerely hope it helps address Mr. Guilmette curiousity Yes. Thank you. It had not occurred to me that ye good olde BIOS is/was still there, and that it could actually be relied upon to do useful things, you know, after boot time. (So many OSes make it a point to get up and running and to _avoid_, as much as possible, any & all use of BIOS I/O routines that it is easy for forget that in limited contexts they are, nontheless, actually still useful.)

Thank you for that. I?ve set up the thinstation-v5.6.1.iso in vm and setup the chroot. I did my first ./build ?allmodules and wrote the iso to usb using lili version 2.0 so that I can boot with older syslinux. I am doing this for the needed hardware profile to build from inside the vm however the usb has been stuck on the syslinux version line with a line following: Thinstation..... for 30 minutes

I have the following nis map (auto.facvs) * -vers=3 &:/disk1 Which allows hosts that have /disk1 exported to be mounted to /facvs/$hostname It works fine, but on Centos4, it allows me to cd /facvs/foo (where foo isn't a real host out there) I find it has mounted my local /disk1 as /facvs/foo. It seems to be ignoring the key in the map pertaining to the host if it's not a valid

Thanks for the hints - I have NOT CONFIG_EFI enabled - do I need this actually? I do not know which variables I need to boot... The kernel APPEND parameters are sufficient for me... And the relocatable config is set already. .. I enabled the EFI kernel config parts - no change... the console prints: Booting System... Loading linux... ok Loading iramfs.gz...ok [then reboot] My syslinux.cfg is

...m the start to the end - call me crazy :o. I don't know anyone that reads a sentence from the last word towards the first one. Any message board of any kind shows the messages from top to bottom, not the other way around. In other words, to anyone participating in this mailing list, please, _avoid_ top-posting!!! Really. 3. Generally speaking, replies should be sent to the Syslinux mailing list's email address (not to private email addresses). Unfortunately, there are several reasons and circumstances that make this less intuitive than it should. Yet, please pay attention. 4. Regardi...

Dear All, I've tried to upgrade a Centos 3.3 installation to 4.0 using YUM and some instructions I found in a thread on the Centos Forum. The initial problem I had with Python 2.3/2.2 has been resolved, and now I am trying to upgrade the kernel to 2.6 prior to the yum upgrade, unfortunately it bails out at the end with dependancy erros on Xfree86. At this point I decided to use the CDs

You get so used to yum upgrades going so smoothly but I learned the hard way to always make a thorough inspection after a yum update. I let yum go ahead and upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6. Afterwards I made some basic queries to httpd, postfix and bind named (probably a cached query). I even checked the /var/named/ directory and saw all my hosts files. So looked like another smooth ride, well until

Hello there I built development version of syslinux from git 6.04-pre3-3-(sometag) and I am trying to boot a slackware-current system with it. I do not use a separated partition for `/boot`. It's just `/dev/sda1` here for `/` and `/boot` is just a folder. I simply use `mbr.bin` against a DOS partition table and the first partition having the bootable flag. With this layout, the only

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m

Greetings, Can anyone relate experience(s) installing CentOS on Compaq rack mount servers units please? Easy no problem, easy some issues, or ghastly do not do it under any circumstances... ;) Basically, I'm looking at some used/refurb dual PIII units and will run RAID on Compaq built in SCSI or is it easy to pop in some 3ware SATA in them? Let me know in terms of CentOS 3 and/or 4 please.
